Linux on the Tipping Point

Reader stormcoder wrote to mention an article on Enterprise Linux I.T. in which the author posits that even though Linux is built on a legend, the reality of Linux outstrips even the myth. From the article: "..the fact that Linux has traditionally been compared to Microsoft's Windows brand products and not the other Unix variants will most likely lead the general public to perceive all this as Linux sailing on to new horizons while Microsoft stalls out. This perceptual shift should totally reverse the previous mainstream view that Microsoft and Intel were somehow at the forefront of high technology computing -- thereby pushing Linux over the magic edge of a social tipping point."

Does this ring true to anyone else?

I read a lot of internet articles. My subconcious mind does a lot of processing of that information. I can "feel" that this Linux tipping point is indeed coming, even if my concious logical mind still has doubts.

Anyone else feel "it's coming".
